The proximity of this distribution center, which will be built at Prologis Park 70 Etna, to the Port Columbus International Airport as well as to major freeways, would help SpeedFC meet the rising demand from customers by offering increased accessibility to the population in the U.S. and Canada.

Notably, there is an increased demand for Class-A facilities resulting from growth in e-Commerce. Firms are seeking consolidation of distribution networks and are settling near areas where majority of the population resides in order to better serve customers and reduce delivery time.

Prologis stands to benefit from this move as it has the capacity to offer modern distribution facilities in strategic infill locations. Such facilities, in turn, help Prologis customers’ like SpeedFC to experience efficiency gains and lower operational costs. As a matter of fact, SpeedFC has been Prologis’ client in the past and this particular deal will extend Prologis' relationship with SpeedFC to over 1.3 million square feet in 2 U.S. markets.

Prologis is significantly capitalizing on the growing opportunities in build-to-suit development projects across the globe. Additionally, leasing decisions that were earlier postponed due to volatility in the markets are gradually coming off the shelf. This, in turn, is expected to help augment the company’s top line going forward and provide upside potential to its stock price.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +25% per year. These returns cover a period from 1988-2017. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zack Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations.
